Tank Girl: Top put together
August 31st, 2004
This morning I “weaved” together the tops of the straps of the front and back using the “three needle bind-off”. Check it out:
The three needle bind-off was very easy. You basically just bind off the way you would normally do it, only you are using three needles. So I’m almost done and I’m stoked! All I have left is finishing and blocking. I think I am going to try steam blocking with a steam iron. I don’t know if I should do it before or after I weave the side seams and sew up the loose endz. I’ll have to check on that 
.
Also, I just now got an e-mail from Jimmy Bean saying that my order of Rowan Calmer in Pool was placed in the mail today. Yay! Jimmy Bean lives in Truckee, CA so it should be here in a flash. Perfect timing.

I love the tank!
Charlotte is VERY quick to knit up…the pattern is easy to follow, but once you get 100 stitches or so on the needles, it’s difficult to lose track of the pattern. But I’ve found several sites with hints on staying on track. If you start Charlotte, let me know, and I’ll point you to the sites.

looks great!! sorry my effort has gone down the toilet monica. Still I’m cheering you on the sidelines tho. Also looking forward to how the steam blocking goes- i havn’t tried that before
